Twisted is an asynchronous framework. Your code needs to not block for
long times in order for it to function properly, so don't block for a
long time in 'f' and everything will be fine.

If you really need to run some blocking function, maybe you want to
use a thread, in which case something like
twisted.internet.threads.deferToThread is desirable.
